Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3, pulled from stores last year due to licensing issues, could be back sooner than we think. Find out everything here!
A few months ago, at the end of 2021, some games of the metal gear series were removed from digital stores. The specific editions were Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3titles that Konami pulled due to some licensing issues. However, it seems that now the developer is backing down and looking to get the games back.
By way of flash backlast year Konami reported: “We are currently working on renewing the licenses for selected historical stock images used in the game. Therefore, we have made a temporary decision to begin discontinuing the sale of Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, and all products that include these games from digital storefronts globally beginning November 8, 2021.“.
The restoration of deleted games we met thanks to a post on the official Metal Gear Twitter account, on the occasion of the 35 years of the saga. In that statement we can read:We ask for your patience while preparations are made to make temporarily removed titles available again.“.
At no time does this statement confirm that it is the Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3, although by force majeure it must be them. At the time, these games disappeared in their versions of PS3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo 3DS. With the long-awaited return of these titles to sales, can we see them on other consoles?
